Café gourmand

At a restaurant with a friend. We order a delicious café gourmand for dessert: small crème brûlée, chocolate mousse, vanilla ice cream and, of course, coffee.

While chatting, I watch my friend as he dips the ice cream into his coffee and eats it. As I ask him about it, he says he loves to eat it like that.

We chat some more and during a small pause he says, sounding pleasantly surprised:

"Mmmmm, this ice cream tastes a bit of coffee!"

... all the while dipping the ice cream into his coffee.

"I wonder why!", I reply.

Realising what he just said, he smiles sheepishly and I giggle.
